It's a [not always] simple matter of extrapolating your near-future needs/desires from previous trends, and finding a vehicle that fits those future needs. In my case, I had a well equipped Jeep Wrangler that had served me quite well in the past, but was no longer capable of doing what I...

Mexican S'mores. Thanks to the incredibly talented camp chef Roseann Hanson . . . Combine marshmallow, dark chocolate, and a dash (or two) of cinnamon in a small flour tortilla. Roll like a burrito (be sure to close both ends) & fry in hot oil. When it is golden brown all around, remove from...

It depends on the state. AZ does not, and I didn't have a title for my camper when I lived in CA back in the late 90's. I don't recall having a title for my camper when I lived in CO either - of course, that was 20 years ago - so things may have changed.

Fortunately, with the internet being what it is, it's getting easier to get the base knowledge from which to develop the skills for all sorts of random stuff. :ylsmoke: Now if I could just find more time. :sombrero:

If you have the $$$ to buy a shell and go from there - it's a lot easier. I took mine down to the frame - and it took me about 200 labor hours to build it. Considering I had the time but not the $$$, it was the only option we had. Including the purchase price of the used camper, we're into it...

I built my own too. It mounted to the windshield on the front, and a set of steel corners on the back. 1.25" round HREW, .120" wall. It was a touch on the overkill side - but had no problems with heavy loads. Well - the rack was fine, the slinky-like suspension wasn't the best with a heavy...

Just the fact that you started with a FWC disqualifies you from the CBOA. A true member of the CBOA would have gone down to Home Depot, picked out a bunch of warped 2x4s and some broken plywood, argued with the manager to get a 35% discount, then nailed it all together with left over roofing...

FWC quoted me a $950 (IIRC - maybe it was $1,000) for new fabric for my '91 Granby. ATC quoted me $650. As I understand it, you need to exit the vehicle to close up the storm flaps on the ATC tops - but the FWC tops can be done from inside. I ended up not replacing it since I ended up...

Cheap Bastards of America.

We looked at Suby's too - just couldn't swallow the cost. She was out the door just under 18K with the Patriot (new with no trade in). No trail rated package - just the base model 4wd. Unfortunately, it's got a single speed transfer case - does the "freedomdrive" have a 2-speed case? That's...

Marisa has a 2007 (first model year). It's kind of ugly, but the only real limiting factor we have found is the break-over angle. Of course - she didn't buy it for rock-crawling, so it has only been somewhat limiting to the places she wants to go with it. Marisa hates the interior - but...

I tried to buy a couple of the Snow Peak double wall mugs a while back - I just couldn't get myself to spend $55 (cost @ Sportsmans Warehouse a couple years ago) on a freekin' coffee cup!!!! It was a bit easier for me to spend $8 (current price = $10/ea - they were on sale at the Expo) on a...

I use both. Well, sort of. We use LEDs for anything that stays on while we are away (exterior courtesy light, interior floor lights), and use incandescent lamps for the overhead lights that see limited use (only when cooking/eating/cleaning - which is usually done before dark anyway). We...

I know a few people who have some commercial operations with sponsors - so business and sponsor logos make sense - but I don't see many non-commercial vehicles that are wrapped. What exactly is a "expo style" graphic wrap? Is there a new trend? What's going on? I think I missed it (not...

That's a great price on a great bike carrier. I use the Yakima version (which cost me a lot more than your asking price) after destroying the finish on my bike with a Thule 971xt Helium.

They finally have mac-compatible *anything*?!?!?!?!?! :Wow1:

Time for Roxy to get a boot to the head. Just 'sayin. :costumed-smiley-007

Have they tightened up the rules again?!? The last engine swap I was looking at (in CA) was about a decade ago - but back then MFR didn't matter, as long as the engine being installed was from the same model year or newer, it was installed with all the control systems that it was originally...

My guess is that you will be hard pressed to find a manufacturer that will openly encourage someone to modify any part of a vehicle that they produce - particularly the frame. I've heard that some of the larger trucks (IE: Fuso) have 'builder books' that you can use as a guide for modifications...
